What's hot right now

A big batch just landed — 100 new gigs across 5 sources in the last 72 hours — and this cycle the volume swings back to knowledge work: generalist AI tasks, STEM, and coding. The deepest block of fresh postings is general AI-task work — evaluating and correcting model output, the kind of role that rewards careful judgment over a niche credential — 35 roles in the leading category alone. STEM and code-review sit right behind, a deeper and better-paid tier if you have a technical background. And the top of the rate card is notably strong this drop, clearing $150/hr for the specialists who qualify — well above a typical week — while the $67/hr average describes the solid middle.

  • Generalist work leads the drop. General AI-task and evaluation roles took the top of this window — 35 fresh roles in the leading category. Most reward consistent judgment over a specific credential; async and queue-based, so pick up tasks when you have time.
  • STEM & coding fill the technical tier. Science and code-review roles make up the next-largest blocks — deeper and better-paid if you have a technical or research background, and the queues are full this cycle.
  • A strong top this week. The headline rate ($150/hr) is a real specialist listing and runs higher than usual — but the $67/hr average is the number that describes the actual middle of this board. Match the tier to your background and skip the rest.

Ten minutes right now? Decide by category first. No specific credential — open the generalist and evaluation rows; they’re the deepest and most accessible tiers in this drop and screen on judgment, not a degree. A coding, STEM, or research background — those rows run deep this cycle too, at better rates. Either way, the roles that posted most recently have the emptiest screening queues, and catching a fresh batch early is the whole point of the Wire.
